And yet, surprisingly, Strauss never published any of his thoughts on Plato's dialogue on piety, the \u003ci\u003eEuthyphro\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents, for the first time, Strauss's 1948 notebook on the dialogue, written in preparation for a class at the New School for Social Research. Featuring close analysis and line-by-line commentary, the notebook opens a window onto a philosophic mind in action, as Strauss asks questions of the classic text, jots down observations and formulations, and analyzes very specific terms and arguments but also steps back, reviews the overall movement of the dialogue, and reconsiders previous conclusions. Beyond the notebook, the volume also brings together all the known materials that lay out Strauss's thoughts on the \u003ci\u003eEuthyphro. \u003c\/i\u003eThis includes newly transcribed and edited public lectures, illuminating appendixes, critical essays by volume editors Hannes Kerber and Svetozar Y.
